Living Purposefully and Responsibly

The idea of living with a purpose, the
way I understand it, is to have goals that you are reaching for and
striving for each day. Here is my step by step plan on how to live
with purpose.

Ask yourself what do you want.

Write down your
goals. Do you want to go back to school? Do you want to de-stress
your life? Do you want to eat healthier? Whatever it is that you
want to attain, write it down.

Ask yourself what actions are
needed to meet your goals.

Break down your goals into mini
attainable goals if needed. Example: If I wanted to write a novel
by next year, I would try to write at least a few pages each week,
or day. Each month I would a have a goal of having written at
least a chapter. So I have goals set for the year, for each month,
and each day. Create a schedule for yourself and try to keep to
it.

Hold yourself accountable.

Understand that you and only you are responsible for your choices and
your actions.

Let us know what
you are striving for. How will you live with purpose today?
